I'd agree that for release "official" should be the default. > The use of this flag is documented in the README, including hints on its > usage.

If I remember correctly, the documentation was actually added after it was noticed that people and distributions were not aware of its implications. Just consider someone building gtk-gnutella in /tmp or any other directory that's likely to be writeable (or creatable) on any user's machine. gtk-gnutella attempts to load icons from those paths then and there have been quite a few security issues with libXpm and libpng which are used by Gtk+ as well. That's why I've also added emitting a startup message showing the path that's used by unofficial builds. However, it's probably best to put something annoying like "for testing only" in the window title or the like. -- Christian
